Do not download it from anywhere; make sure you get physical disks (even if
you order online). The cheapest way to get any version of Office is to buy
the Home and Student Edition, which, however, does not include Outlook.

Either you have a trial version that has passed its expiry date or you have
not activated the product and it has exceeded its unactivated usage. If you
want further help, please provide some information as we are not
clairvoyants.

Version of Word or Office?
Operating system?
Are they fully patched up to date?
Is this error on just one document or on all document?

Is there a question here?

The message in the subject line means one of three things:

- You are running a version of Word that hasn't been activated (activate
it!), or you are running an expired trial version (buy a full version!).

- If the message appeared when you selected text and tried to delete it,
make sure that the selection does not include a content control that is
locked.

- Some sort of document protection has been applied. On the Developer tab,
click Protect Document to display the Restrict Formatting and Editing pane.
Click Stop Protection. If you are seeing this with all new, blank documents,
rename the Normal template (with Word closed).
